So, Israel’s continuing presence in the West Bank is the cause of Ft. Hood, the Boston Marathon, Paris, San Bernardino, Istanbul, Orlando, etc., and the massacre of Christians by ISIS?
Got it.
And, Abbas threw in, for good measure, an absurd story claiming that Israeli rabbis are calling for the poisoning of Palestinian water.
No one in the audience called him out for this vicious lie.
Instead, he got a standing ovation.

In an appeal to the European Union on reaching a two-state solution to the conflict with Israel, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday said an end to Israeli presence in the West Bank and East Jerusalem would eradicate terrorism across the globe.
Speaking to European Parliament lawmakers, Abbas also underscored Ramallah’s support for a two-state solution as outlined in the current French peace plan and the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative, and pleaded with EU lawmakers to save Palestinians from Israeli “provocations,” including what he said were calls by rabbis to poison Palestinians’ water — repeating a hoax story.
We are against terrorism, in whatever form it may take, and whoever carries it out,” Abbas told members of the European Parliament to a resounding applause.
“Once the occupation ends, terrorism will disappear, there will be no more terrorism in the Middle East, or anywhere else in the world,” he said….

I hope someone is taking notes on who is applauding this farce. With the departure of Britain, the EU will be increasingly desperate for money and may allow countries like Turkey and others in who will be sympathetic to Abbas’ libelous claims against the Jewish State. While globalists will applaud this action, my prayer is that many in the EU will follow Britain’s lead and reclaim their sovereignty.
What a pile of horse squeeze this is.
This is the beginning of the end of the whole world going against Israel. The Jeeeews are to blame for Islamic terrorism now. Our next President will be the determining factor on what side this BS the good old USA will fall on. If we go against Israel that will be the end of us.
